Common use of SEALED SHIPMENT Clause in Contracts

SEALED SHIPMENT. If Shipper loads and seals the lading in or on the trailer and Carrier does not have the opportunity to count the lading being loaded and the seal is intact upon delivery, Carrier shall be absolved from any liability for shortages or any damage to the lading except when proximately caused by independent action of Carrier. Such absolution of liability will also occur if (i) the seal is broken at the direction and under the supervision of an agent of a body politic, or (ii) trailers are preloaded and the adequacy of loading or count of such trailer is not practical by a representative of Carrier. Carrier agrees that if a seal is broken and an inspection made by an agent of a body politic, its operator or other representative will take all reasonable steps to secure the count, safety, and integrity of the lading. These steps will include requesting that the body politic reseal the trailer and/or make appropriate notation on the freight documentation form. Carrier may break the seal on a trailer if, upon Carrier’s determination or that of its operator or other representative, it becomes reasonably necessary to do so to inspect, reposition, or protect the lading or Carrier’s equipment or to comply with federal, state, municipal, or provincial laws, rules, and regulations. Shipper’s consignee may not refuse delivery of a shipment solely because the seal on a trailer is broken.
